I've been a musician for 52 years professionally. I do it because, for me, I love it.

When the country prospers, everyone does. In music and in everything.

Recording an album and doing it live are like two different animals. There are some people that are great singers live, horrible in the studio.

I don't really play overseas stuff. I'm a bit of a dinosaur in that way. You gonna improve on a Les Paul or Fender Stratocaster? Those are perfect designs, and there is nothing to add really.

One night I was standing on Third Avenue playing my guitar, when this big Irish policeman came strolling by, and stopped to listen to my singing and playing. When I was done, he politely handed me a ticket for disturbing the peace, while at the same time telling me how much he liked my voice. I wish I still had that ticket.

Donald Trump is an "America first" guy. He said, "We protect everyone else's borders but our own."

If you hear Bing Crosby trying to swing, it doesn't work. He swings like a rusty gate.
